Visual C++ Problem inserting BMP file into CRichEditView, please help

Visual Basic How to split commandline application path from possible arguments?
I have commandline strings that contains application paths and might contain arguments. Some examples: 1. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\winword.exe" "C:\some dir\documentname.doc" 2.

C:\Windows\notepad.exe 6. someapp.exe I'm looking for a simple way to split the path to the application and the optional argument.

Visual Studio Express Editions cannot get audio file to play with my.computer.audio.play
I am trying to play an audio file I added to resources. When I type in my.computer.audio.play(My.Resources.filename) it gives me the blue squiggly underline, and says that "Value of type 'System.IO.UnmannagedMemoryStream' cannot be converted to 'String'. This is highly annoying . How can I get a resource soundfile to play Thanx. there are a couple of difference options with the my.computer.audio.play method (see this for more details). The only overload with a single parameter expects a filename, not a stream, so you'll have to add a playmode argument such as AudioPlayMode.Background if you're using d ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Communication between 2 different workflows
I have a host application (a windows service) and 2 different types of state machine workflows. The workflow1 executes a certain amount of workflow2 and waits for the workflows to return. To do this they need to communicate between each other. I thought workflow2 could send an event to workflow1, in order to tell him when he's finished. Everytime a workflow2 returns it send this event to workflow1, so workflow1 can check if the started workflows are all finished. But how can I send events from one workflow to another Any ideas, which dont use wcf Thanks You can accomplish this by having a local ser ...Show All
